LATEX BAG DESIGN WITH CREATIVE ECONOMY CONCEPT

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to study the properties of liquid latex rubber and
molding techniques for product design; 2) to experiment with liquid latex rubber molding;
and 3) to design bags from liquid latex rubber. Use qualitative research processes. It starts
with studying information about the properties of liquid latex rubber and its formation by
studying various sources such as books, theses, research articles, journals, m agazines,
and online media. It is analyzed and experimented with to create design guidelines and
develop until it is a complete prototype.
The properties of liquid latex rubber that are suitable for use in bag design include: high
elasticity properties; this makes it possible to protect the contents inside with the elasticity of
the tire. By sticking together, liquid latex rubber can be used as a bond instead of sewing.
Tensile strength and tear resistance High impact resistance and abrasion resistance will help
make the resulting bag strong. Resistance to weak acids and alkalis will help protect items
from chemicals.
From the experiment with liquid latex rubber and molding, it was found that liquid latex
rubber can set more quickly by using vinegar (acetic acid), an artificial vinegar type, which
can create patterns using two techniques: drip and tracing. It has a tens ile strength of 0.5
N/square mm. 709% ruffocity, tear strength of 2.2 N/mm, and tracing technique It has a
tensile strength of 1.1 N/square millimeter. 936% ruffocity and tear strength: 3.3 N/mm
